Just stop being an imbecile who thinks that having a meeting on Thursday means shite ain't happening until then.


I’m saying it means weakness, abandonment, and tells the Ukrainians to frick off.

Do you know who Tony Blinken is, who hopefully will be facing a firing squad for treason after convicted by a jury of his peers in 2025?


Holy shite, you've gone full retard.

That’s what I don’t get, Putin had to know exactly what the repercussions would be. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would gamble on something like swift. And if that’s the case then why is it so important to him to take Ukraine knowing exactly what the ramifications would be?

The only thing that really makes sense is that he thought this would be over quickly with no resistance and he could spin it like Crimea and Georgia(protecting ethnic Russians who were being oppressed by non-Russian dominant populations).

Although, after Crimea, he did experience sanctions. Then he intentionally cratered the Russian economy so when he invaded Ukraine, he was "Sanction proof"

He gave the Taliban a kill list… oh excuse me, a list of all the Afghans Tony wanted the Taliban to let through. Yeah he’s either a traitor or too stupid to live. Either way, Tony Blinken doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt of going full retard.

never seen weaponization of money on this scale before…you only get to play the card once. china will make it a priority to need no USD before going for Taiwan. it’s a turning point in monetary history: the end of USD hegemony & the acceleration towards a bipolar monetary order

Meh. If these sanctions are that effective, I don't see that as the end of USD hegemony.

Lots of people who have issues with the US/USD have a death wish that China supports Russia 100% and will spiral down with them.

It’s precisely what he thought. Everything including the pressure from his own people is ratcheting up because he’s struggling to close the deal.

When he made that speech Thursday (?) about recognizing Donetsk and Luhansk as independent, it seemed like he was going to just take those a la Crimea annexation and little by little gain more ground in Ukraine. The move to take all of Ukraine is deranged.

Totally not the point right now, but I hate how light the Russians get off in these international competitions. State-sponsored doping ring? Whoopsie daisy, just compete under the name "athletes from Russia" and we're cool!

Exactly. When I mad my thread about the hypothetical of Russia losing embarrassingly, it was pretty much agreed they could "win" by keeping the outer-border regions. Going all the way to Kyiv was insanity at the time.

But here we are
